in what context we're talking about? if this declaration in C code,
then of course it could mean that it does not defines the arguments
yet.
But if we speaking about signature of function for callout, then i
think it is clear what it stands for.

I had thoughts about adding handling the sole 'void' keyword in
function params, but then i thought, what the heck, it doesn't makes
creating callouts harder or easier. Unlike from C/C++ code it carries
no additional functional load. Nothing.
